One restaurant.
Thirty dishes.
Which one’s yours?
“Restaurant ratings flatten a whole menu into one number.”
A five-star restaurant can still serve a dish that misses your taste completely. SmackLip looks closer: a dish’s flavor, your palate, and the diners whose taste runs a little like yours.

MADE FOR THE WHOLE MENU
More ways to find
the thing you’ll love.
Point. Capture. Explore.
Printed menu, one dish, or QR menu—camera capture is part of the SmackLip story, even when a restaurant’s menu hasn’t made it online. Don’t see a place you love? Request a restaurant.
Keep learning your palate.
My Proud Palate adds dimensions like crispness, firmness, char, funk, doneness and sauciness. Your “Not My Favorites” help refine dish suggestions, too.
Keep your budget in the picture.
Set a price range and look for options that fit where you are. A weeknight dinner should feel like a weeknight dinner.

SMACKLIP FOR RESTAURANTSGOOD QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
A few things
worth knowing.
More detail for diners and restaurant teams, all in one place.
Restaurant FAQHow is SmackLip different from restaurant reviews?+
Most review sites average opinions about a whole restaurant. SmackLip is built around the dish: your Taste Profile is compared with specific menu items, so a recommendation can be personal rather than a crowd average.
What goes into a Taste Profile?+
Seven simple sliders—Rich, Bitter, Salty, Sour, Spicy, Sweet and Umami—capture the flavor balance you tend to enjoy. The Basic Profile is described as free, with setup taking about three minutes.
Can I use SmackLip when a restaurant has no digital menu?+
The product messaging describes camera capture for a printed menu, a single dish or a QR-code menu. If a restaurant is missing, you can request it at hello@smacklip.com.
How does dinner with friends work?+
Taste Buddies lets a group compare restaurant options around everyone’s tastes, dietary preferences and budget, then invite friends by link and vote on a spot together.
How do group invitations and votes work?+
From Connect, create a group and invite by link, email or group ID. Find Group Options lets you compare cuisine, location and budget, with Relaxed, Standard or Picky matching. Propose a spot, vote yes or no, or change your vote while it is open. The proposer or group owner can finalize or cancel a proposal. A final pick includes directions and each member’s dish options. These are product flows, not a promise of public availability.
Can friends see my taste profile?+
Profile sharing is off by default. If you enable Share taste profile in Settings, accepted Taste Buddies can view it. Turning sharing off or unfriending someone ends their access. A group wine tasting keeps individual submissions private until everyone submits.
Why might a menu differ from the restaurant’s menu?+
Menus can include diner contributions and clearly marked AI-suggested starter dishes. Suggestions are not confirmed menus or ingredient evidence. Check current dishes, prices and ingredients with the restaurant. Camera capture and manual corrections help improve the catalog; contact hello@smacklip.com about a missing restaurant.
Where and when can I use SmackLip?+
SmackLip is preparing for public launch. Coverage and feature availability vary and are not confirmed by the sample screens here. Join the waitlist for launch updates in your area. Wine is its own taste journey, not a dish profile or a pairing recommendation.
Does a taste match mean a dish is allergy-safe?+
No. Taste fit is not an allergy or food-safety confirmation. Menus and ingredient information may be incomplete, and recipes or preparation can change. Always ask the restaurant directly about ingredients and cross-contact before ordering.
What does SmackLip cost?+
The site describes a free Basic Profile and recommendations, plus a proposed launch offer of $2.99/month for the full bundle for the first 3 months (regularly $5.99/month). These are proposed terms, not confirmation of a public launch. Optional coupons are handled on the redeem page; no coupon is required to use SmackLip.

Food belongs
to all of us.
One in eight Americans is food-insecure. SmackLip exists to help people love what they eat, and we don’t think that should stop with people who can afford it.
Starting the day SmackLip launches publicly, 1% of every dollar of revenue goes to food-bank partners working in the cities we serve. Not 1% of profit. Not “if we can.” 1% of revenue. Every year. Audited and reported on this site.
Food insecurity hits college students especially hard, with surveys finding that roughly a third skip meals or go hungry while trying to earn a degree. That’s one reason we focus this giving on food banks serving the campus communities in the areas we operate.
INAUGURAL PARTNER
SmackLip’s inaugural named partner is Alameda Food Bank, which serves neighbors through a free grocery store model with fresh, nutritious food, dignity and respect. The pledge begins at public launch; this is not a statement that donations have already been made.
Donate to Alameda Food BankSmackLip also aims to help partner restaurants cut food waste at the source, keeping perfectly good food on plates and out of dumpsters.
THE COMMITMENT1% of revenue
Every year, beginning at public launch, with reporting on the SmackLip site.
A forward-looking pledge; not a claim of completed donations.
